They don’t “deserve” to, but it is not illegal if they are. If you’re in a public space you shouldn’t expect privacy……because you’re in a public place. That’s pretty obvious.

You don’t own “image rights” of yourself.

Doesn’t seem that straight forward from the article. It says you “generally” need consent, and that was said in regard to “filming and publishing”. What about just filming? The “generally” makes me think that this isn’t breaking any laws unless they publish it without consent.

Who is “they” here?

The fact is that if you’re in public you have no expectation of privacy………because you’re in public.

Looking at US laws it appears you’re wrong. Unless you’re in a bathroom or somewhere where privacy is expected, recording in public places without permission is completely legal.

I’m sorry but no one believes people when they say things like this, because it’s just not true. Pretending to be a tough guy on the internet is easy, but you’re not going to choose to go to jail because you saw a person with glasses on.

Are mobile phones banned in public? Cameras?

Think about it this way - if someone pulled out a knife and started stabbing people in public, should people be able to record it without asking the stabber for permission or not?

In public you have no expectation of privacy…… because you’re in public. Public and private are quite literally the opposite of each other.

You’ll find that in almost every civilised country recording in public is 100% allowed. It’s what you do with the footage that has restrictions and laws around it.

Privacy in public is not a thing. They’re literally antonyms.

invading our privacy in public

Stop and think about what you just said for a second. Privacy……in public. You have no privacy in public, those are opposites.

The article is about people being filmed in public places though.

This practicality has reportedly allowed some men in Brussels to secretly record women in public spaces.

You have no expectation of privacy in public places. In fact, if you’re in a public place you should assume you’re being recorded.

This tech has privacy concerns for sure, but this isn’t it.

The real fascists are usually the ones calling everyone else fascists, as that in itself is a means of control.

Not a 10TB one yet, thankfully, but did a 4TB in my old NAS recently after it started giving warnings. It was a few days iirc. Not ideal but better than the thousands of dollars it would cost to go to RAID1. I’d love RAID1, but until we get 50TB consumer drives for < $1k it’s not happening.

When setting up RAID1 instead of RAID5 means an extra few thousand dollars of cost, RAID5 is fine thank you very much. Also SSDs in the size many people need are not cheap, and not even a thing at a consumer level.

5x10TB WD Reds here. SSD isn’t an option, neither is RAID1. My ISP is going to hate me for the next few months after I set up backblaze haha
